Elk Grove Village man arrested in Buffalo Grove bank heist

BUFFALO GROVE — An Elk Grove Village man has been charged with bank robbery after cash and a pellet gun were found last week in his car, federal authorities said Monday.

Robert R. Maday, 38, of the 500 block of Biesterfield Road was charged last week in the Dec. 29 holdup of a Harris Bank branch in Buffalo Grove, said Ross Rice, a spokesman for the FBI.

More than $13,600 was taken in the robbery of the branch at 1190 N. McHenry Rd., according to a federal complaint.

Maday was arrested about two hours after the holdup when a Schaumburg police officer stopped his car for doing more than 80 m.p.h. in a 40-m.p.h. zone on Martingale Road south of Schaumburg Road, the FBI said. Maday also has been charged in armed purse-snatchings in Schaumburg and Hoffman Estates.
